Ian's Pizza on State St heads to battlestations
People have been calling in pizza orders to Ian's on State St all week from the around the country to have them delivered to protesters in the the Capitol rotunda. Today, it reached critical mass. I read this from a local Facebook friend (who I also saw today at the Square):

"Ian's Pizza on State has shut down operations to the public and is now only taking donation orders for pizza's for the protesters. They have received pizza order donations from across the US, Eygpt, Europe - all around the world - to support the protesters. Unbelievable!"

They apparently already have enough orders to deliver to the Rotunda to keep them busy all night. Keep in mind that this is a Saturday night, already one of their busiest.

Via, via, via a bunch of people here in Madison.

1. Awesome!
That is pretty amazing to hear.

I hope I'm not raising my hopes too much, but doggone I hope this all works out. I know some of the repubs aren't turnable (Fitz, Vukmir, Walker, etc.) but I sure do hope there are some that are willing to stand up to the GOP thuggery after seeing this.

2. I had supper there round about 7:30.
Ian's was open to the public and doing a good business, too.

3. The Francis St location? They stayed open to the public, and so did their others
The one a block from the square is the one I'm talking about.

6. My son does pizza delivery in another state.
I just called him and suggested he make a field trip to Wisconsin to help out.

Pizza delivery people are always awesome.
